The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 759
After hanging up the phone, Jeremy looked up and noticed Corinne walking toward him.â Whatâs the
matter? Donât you like the firework show?â
Corinne sat beside him and said nonchalantly, âI do, but it was getting kinda boring. It was just one
beautiful explosion after another, so I decided to come in.â
Jeremy narrowed his eyes and hugged her. âDid something happen? Why do you sound so unhappy?â
Corinne was indeed unhappy with him for being on the phone for so long. âMister, what did Anya say to
you?â
âShe wanted me to visit Joey âcause heâs having a fever.â
âThen why are you still here?â Corinne asked with a scoff.
Jeremy could hear the sarcasm in her voice. âWhy would I go there? Itâs not like I can cure him.
Besides, Iâve asked my men to get the best doctor in the city to check on Joey.â
âAre you sure you donât know how to cure people?â asked Corinne with a sarcastic smile. âYeah. Why
do you ask?â Jeremy questioned with a raise of his eyebrow.
âWell, Iâm pretty sure youâre the only one who can cure Miss Anyaâs lovesickness.â
The smile disappeared from Jeremyâs face, replaced by a frown. He could tell Corinne was mocking
him, so he gazed solemnly into her eyes before pulling her into a tight embrace. Stroking her hair, he
said, âI know this is on meâ¦but I promise you Iâm only concerned about. their safety and nothing else.â
Corinne fit perfectly against Jeremyâs body. Listening to the rhythmic gentle beating of his heart gave
her a sense of comfort so great that she nearly fell asleep.
âMister, I have a questionâ¦and you must answer me as honestly as you can,â said Corinne sleepily.
Jeremy rubbed his chin against the top of her head and said softly, âIâm listening.â
Corinne grabbed his hand and laced her fingers between his. âAm I the only one in yourââ
âMiss Anya! What are you doing here?â asked the Lunar Century Manorâs servants in shock.
The two of them turned around and saw Anya running in with the sickly Joey in her arms.
âJeremy! Whereâs Jeremy?!â
To say Corinne was surprised would be an understatement, but she would not put it past Anya to do
something like this. âWell, it took her no time to come here at all.â
Lunar Century Manor was built by the Riveras, and their mansion was not that far from here.
When Anya saw Jeremy seated on the sofa, she immediately ran over. âJeremy!â
Jeremy frowned at the sight of her. âDidnât I send the doctor over? Why did you bring Joey here?â
âI didnât have a choice. He was crying for you. He wouldnât let the doctor come near him
unless you were in the room with him. Lookâ¦â Anya held up Joey, who was deathly pale in the face.
The bandage around his head only served to make him look even more pitiful.
He looked at Jeremy weakly and reached out to him. âDada⦠I want huggyâ¦â
